Seamus was an absolutely amazing guide! Really enjoyed the history and information he shared about Galway, Kylemore Abbey, and Ireland in general during the bus ride. Highly recommend this tour, and any tour Lally Tours offers!

What an amazing day tour - seeing Kylemore Abey and a bit of Connemara National Park was amazing. We only had one full day in Galway with time for a tour, and we're so glad we found Lally Tours! The tour was absolutely made perfect by our driver and guide, Seamus Og. He displayed a delightful combination of knowledge, humor, and passion for Ireland.

Our tour was unforgettable thanks to our incredible guide, Seamus! His knowledge of the region’s history, culture and landscape brought it all to life for us. If you’re on the fence about visiting Connemara; do it!

The tour was so great! Michael was very friendly and informative. I loved when he would talk about the areas we drove through. I think we got slightly ahead of schedule so he even gave us some extra time at Kylemore! Thank goodness he do too because I don’t think I would have been able to see everything I wanted to if he hadn’t. The drive was beautiful!

Seamus was a great tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, and really kind to the travelers who were continuously late at each stop.

The tour itself was amazing! Lots of history to take in, along with beautiful sights and fun activities. The tour was well planned out so we had many stops and got to see many different things and scenery’s. Our guide, Seamus, was fantastic and very knowleadable! Can’t reccomend Lally Tours enough, this was even our second tour using them.

A most enjoyable and entertaining day spent visiting Kylemore Abbey and Leenan. Our tour guide Seamus was great, gave a running commentary while driving narrow roads. Would highly recommend LALLY tours and especially Seamus
